First thing I would do is give my local church 11.6 million.
Then buy these four vehicles:
2013 Buick LaCrosse
2013 Buick Enclave
2013 GMC Sierra 1500
2013 Chrysler Town & Country
Next I would have the home I have always wanted built. A two story five bedroom house with a rap around porch on both levels with about 1000 acres here in middle Tennessee.
Then I would let my kids have $500,000 to spend on anything.
I would put up enough for all three of my kids to go as far as medical school (if they want to) in college.
Then I would take my wife on the honeymoon we never had to see Ireland.
Put enough away so that if I really do not want to work anymore I can quit.
